SQL Server AGs and Kubernetes

Andrew Pruski shakes his head:

Say we have a database that we want to migrate a copy of into Kubernetes for test/dev purposes, and we don’t want to backup/restore.

How can it be done?

Well, with cross platform availability groups! We can deploy a pod to our Kubernetes cluster, create the availability group, and then auto-seed our database!

The caveat is, this probably isn’t a good idea. But then again, when has that ever stopped anyone?
